Rugby

King’s rugby began the season with a thrilling block fixture against Monkton, showcasing over 130 players across all age groups. The U14s and U15s hosted three well-contested matches, while the senior teams travelled to Monkton. The 2^nd XV delivered a solid performance, securing a 26-18 victory. The 1^st XV, put on a remarkable defensive display, shutting out Monkton with a commanding 29-0 win. This outstanding result is particularly notable as it marks the first time King’s has triumphed over Monkton’s 1^st XV since 2017.

Hockey

On the hockey pitches, the girls’ teams lined up against tough opposition from Dauntsey’s. However, it ended up being the most competitive set of fixtures with an excellent victory for the 1^st XI, whilst the U15A and U14A teams recorded well fought draws. The remaining games were separated by a goal or two in what was a very pleasing afternoon of hockey overall. Well done to Anna I, Leggy M, Geneva N, Edie K-H, Izzy J, Juliette C, Sophia W and Patience B for being named players of the match in their respective matches.
